UK Woman Loses Lawsuit Over Missing Farewell Card

Karen Conaghan's case dismissed as judge cites 'conspiracy-theory mentality' in workplace interactions.

Karen Conaghan sued her former employer, International Airlines Group, for not receiving a farewell card upon her departure.
The court found that a card was prepared but withheld due to only three colleagues signing it, which was deemed insulting.
Conaghan's lawsuit included 40 complaints of sexual harassment, victimization, and unfair dismissal, all of which were dismissed.
Judge Kevin Palmer concluded that Conaghan misinterpreted normal workplace interactions, adopting a 'conspiracy-theory mentality.'
Conaghan had relocated to North Yorkshire against company policy, which required employees to live within two hours of the Heathrow office.
